Raffi Margossian, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Dr. Margossian is incredible! I have been his patient for almost 6 years now and words cannot describe how thankful I am for his amazing work! Back in 2007 I had two crown works done by one dentist in North Hollywood and while putting the crown his transferred an infection. My body started rejecting the crown and my gum tissue around one of the teeth started  turning black and I went to 3 different dentists in 3 different locations for help and all 3 of them referred me to Dr. Margossian saying I have an oral cancer. Doctor took me in as an emergency appointment  and once he saw me he told me that it  is guaranteed that I don’t have oral cancer, however to calm down my parents he did a biopsy which luckily proved him right. After that incident he removed both of my teeth that were infected, did a great amount of work starting from cleaning the infected part and finishing by putting new bone and an implant. During the whole process I never had to take any pain killers since there was simply no pain that I couldn’t stand. Dr. Margossian also removed 4 of my wisdom teeth (all at the same time), and again – I had no pain whatsoever and was able to eat whatever I want next day after the surgery. I still go to Dr. Margossian for another implant work. Someone in their earlier comments was complaining about it being pricey and all about the money. Lets face it. First of all, you get what you pay for. I cannot imagine myself going to someone else after having so many bad experiences with other doctors and going to Dr. Margossian to fix the mistakes of others. Probably Dr. Margossian is the only doctor I fully trust. Usually, the expensive procedures take a while to be finished and they allow to pay off the whole amount by making step by step payments as you go if you request to do so. In addition, I have compared the prices in different locations and Dr. Margossian’s prices are very fair. Wait? Any doctor you go to you usually end up waiting even if you have an appointment and it doesn’t mean that they don’t care about you thats why they make you wait. There are so many things that can happen and be the reason of such delay. Doctors work with live people, they have emergency appointments, complications and million other things, but hey! Dr. Margossian is the best out there! and I think no matter how long the wait might be its worth waiting! It’s your health you are talking about. Such a great amount of patients is another prove of how amazing Dr. Margossian is! During the removal of my 4 wisdom teeth and the removal of infected teeth I was under anesthetic too and both times my mom was next to me until I fell asleep. Someone wrote a comment that Dr. didn’t let the parent to go in with the child. Based on that review it seems like the mom herself almost had a panic attack and maybe the doctor didn’t let her in to decrease the stress of the child? I am a psychologist and I know for a fact that the behavior and emotions of parents affect their children and if they see the parent being so frightened then they will be even more scared and sometimes it’s better to not have the parent around. SO there might a reason such as that why Dr. didn’t let the mom in. Also, crying after the anesthetic is NORMAL. I was crying too,and it happens not because of pain or because the person is scared, it happens because you wake up very weak and don’t understand whats happening and the tears come out just on their own because of you feeling weak. About the staff. There is no doubt that they all care about their job and about their patients. They are the nicest people you can ever meet at any doctor’s office. Every time I go there I feel very welcomed and leave the office with the huge smile even if I just had stitches placed in my mouth! Dr. Margossian truly has a god given gift.

Dr. Margossian is AMAZING.  I just had lower jaw surgery with him.  For me, he is the cream of the crop when it comes to doctors.  He is a man who is passionate about his job, always greets you with a smile and does a stunning job.  Numbness around the face is common when you get lower jaw surgery because it’s so close to the nerve, but when I got the surgery done, I felt everything in my face  a week post-surgery….which shows how great of a job he did! Dr. Margossian knows what he’s doing and I’m proof that he is a gifted surgeon.  I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him.  I wouldn’t go with any other surgeon when it comes to what he does.  I am a very picky person and I have to say that Dr. Margossian met all my standards and more.  The secretaries are super nice, helpful, and approachable.  If you’re looking for the best surgeon around, look no further.  If could rate him 5 million stars instead of 5 I would!

Dr. Margossian is a top notch oral surgeon. and his office staff are the best. I needed to have my 2 wisdom teeth removed because they were coming out crooked and there was no space for them. My dentist referred me to Dr. Margossian because he said i needed to see an oral surgeon. I called his office and spoke to Patty who was so pleasant and helpful. she had all my insurance information of coverage ready for me by the time of my appointment with the dr. I was REALLY nervous. I met with the Dr a few weeks ago and he examined me, took my xrays and explained the procedure i would need in detail he explained all the risks with great patience. i was really impressed with the time he took to explain all this to me. He made me feel so comfortable  that my nervousness went away. As protocol i was scheduled to go under the following morning. the procedure went EXCELLENT.  I could not believe how fast it was! the nurses were super nice and took such good care of me, bringing me juice and made me feel at ease. I was expecting so much pain and was so worried! But I had a great experience, i had very little pain and everything was so smooth.IF YOU EVER NEED ORAL SURGERY GO TO THIS GUY, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

My teenage son had to have his wisdom teeth removed.  I was referred to Dr. Margossian.  He  sat down with my son and I and explained the procedure in detail.   I asked a lot of questions.  I felt comfortable and satisfied with his answers, and I was impressed with his soft tone and professionalism.  We scheduled an appointment for the procedure.  I was told that this is a surgical procedure and parents were not allowed in the operating room, which I completely understood.  On the day of the surgery I sat in very pleasant surroundings until the surgery was completed.  Once surgery was completed I was allowed to sit with my son in recovery.  One of Dr. Margossians staff sat with us the entire time until my son came awake.  All in all if you have to have your wisdom teeth out I would say we could not of had a more pleasant experience.

Dr. Margossian is an excellent oral surgeon.  I woke up with pain and the left side of my face was swollen. I didn’t know what to do. I contacted Dr. Margossian’s office, they were very busy but kind enough to give me an emergency appointment the same day. They asked me to prepare myself for the appointment by not eating or drinking for 8 hours. I was scared at first, but relieved that someone would take care of me soon enough. After I saw Dr. Margossian, he assured me that everything will be okay.  He explained to me that I had an infection of my gum tissue around my wisdom teeth and that I needed to have surgery. After waiting for the doctor to finish with  his patients, he finally began my procedure which was removing my wisdom teeth under general anesthesia. Dr. Margossian finished the procedure within 30 minutes and I didn’t even feel it. What a great experience. I am so thankful to Dr. Margossian and his staff for staying overtime to take care of my problems. I felt like a princess. Dr. Margossian even called me at night to make sure I was doing okay. It is great to find people that will be there when you need them the most. Thank you again Dr. Margossian, you and  your staff are great!

Despite the fear i had, prior to my surgery. I can say i had a very positive experience. Dr Margossian spent great deal of time to explain the surgical procedure which put me at ease. The office staff were very helpful to answer my questions regarding my insurances. After the surgery he was very accessible with any questions or concerns i had post op. I called the office during after hours and the answering service connected me with Dr. Margossian immediately. It so good to know you can count on your doctor when you are so stressed out after a surgical procedure. I definitely recommend Dr. Margossian to any person seeking oral surgery or in my case, wisdom teeth removal thank you again Dr. Margossian!!!

Due to an ongoing issue with cancer, I had to have eleven (11!) of my back teeth removed. Not a fun thing to start with. On top of that, I really only have one fear left in life and that’s the dentist. Mainly due to some things that happened to me as a kid.  So it was a pretty traumatic experience just walking through the doors. However, Dr. Margossian was absolutely and exactly what I needed. He was VERY respectful towards my situation. He assessed both my medical and psychological situations quite effectively and was very calming and worked with me to help me resolve the situation with as little stress as was possible. He got very creative and when it all finally came down to the day when the teeth were removed, it went very smoothly. I cannot recommend Dr Margossian and the office personnel more enthusiastically. Patti/Patty was extremely helpful with ins and scheduling and was very nice to me. Going WAY out of her way to deal with all the other people who were required to get my situation resolved. I’m just going to add that I’m 6’2″, 300 lbs, covered with body art and normally am not the person you would think has an unreasonable fear of anything, let alone dentistry type stuff, but not once did I feel mocked or not taken seriously. We all have our issues and this one was mine. They absolutely did their very best to help me through it. As a result, now it’s over and the worst part for me was walking through the doors. Once the process started, it was fine and then it was over. Now I’m all healed up and ready for the next stage of my cancer treatments. I could write pages on the details of how they helped calm me and helped get me in there to get that work done. Thank you to the DR. and his staff. Thank you very very much. 42 thumbs up!

To begin, Nataly is amazing. I called in last minute to have my wisdom teeth removed and she was able to pencil me in for an appointment the next day (talk about great first impressions right? Hang tight it gets better). Operation was scheduled for 11 am the next morning. The practice was well maintained, clean, and welcoming. Where to start with Dr. Margossian; he is a master at his craft and some including myself like to say he has the magic hands. Explained the entire procedure to me, made sure I was calm, and took care of me throughout the entire process. Woke up to his smiling face telling me everything went well and I was able to walk myself out at that same moment. Fast forward, two weeks later here I am fully healed like a champ. I cannot thank Dr. Margossian and his office enough for the hospitality and professionalism. I can’t recommend him enough.

Hands down the BEST oral surgeon and staff! It was so easy to make an appointment for a consultation. Was in and out quickly and Dr. Margossian was very efficient in explaining what needed to be done for the extraction of all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth as well as the do’s and dont’s post-procedure. Nataly at the front desk helped fit me in for an appointment before the end of the year which I’m super grateful for. I was really nervous the day of the procedure but his bedside manner calmed me down. The entire extraction process was a breeze with IV sedation and I wasn’t too groggy afterward. It has now been 8 days since the procedure and I had no issues during recovery, it all went as expected. I highly recommend Dr. Margossian!

This has been probably the best experience I have ever had at any medical facility. I want to start off by saying that Dr. Margossian’s service, professionalism, knowledge, confidence and compassion were exceptional. His reassurances were comforting to hear. I highly recommend Dr. Margossian. Now, the staff. The front office staff, from day one, greeted me and welcomed me as if walking into their own home every time I walked in those doors. The professionalism and compassion were  immense. Patty was my knight in shinning armor. She went above and beyond when dealing with some issues with my insurance company. Her communication regarding my appointments, follow ups and just plain checking up on me was out of this world. I truly felt that I was not only Dr. Margossian’s patient, but Patty’s patient as well. A truly remarkable experience.
